Talmud zu Mischlej 9:8

Love and honour the Torah; love righteous ways, reproofs¹⁰Levelled at you. Cf. Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee (Prov. 9, 8). and uprightness. Do not run after honour; do not be presumptuous in giving decisions.
Realize that from now until tomorrow everything you have, whether it belongs to you or not, is not yours;¹¹‘Is not yours’ is added by GRA. because what is yours is [in reality] not yours, so how can what is not yours be yours! Of him who regards what is not his as his own, Scripture declares, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! How long? and that ladeth himself with many pledges!¹²Hab. 2, 6. Accustom yourself to end on an auspicious note.¹³i.e. if you must criticize or predict misfortune, your last words should inspire confidence and comfort. Or, ‘accustom yourself to finish anything good which you began to do’, otherwise it will be credited to him who completes it. Other possible interpretations are: ‘Accustom yourself to complete a deal with goodness’, i.e. there should be no cause for resentment by the other party; ‘Accustom yourself to end everything well’.
